Two miss-sends in a row. Sorry. That's embarrassing. There's one way it could be, although it seems unlikely and is going to be dismissed as too fuzzy. It has to do with how wrong something has to be to not be a report. One could argue that there is a fundamental difference between something that is clearly factually incorrect and something that's ambiguous, and that in the latter case the officer has discretion. You'd probably be arguing that the purpose of self-ratification is to clear up ambiguity. It seems more likely that it's there to fix things people missed, to stop the gamestate from becoming uncorrectably confused. For instance so that people wouldn't complain about minor date shifts that no one noticed for multiple months.
